Axe the Tax

As part of its City Watch Project, Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom is launching a statewide project to mobilize taxpayers against the possible attempt by up to 86 municipalities to raise their local sales taxes by 1/2c per dollar. State senators overrode a veto by Gov. Dave Heineman to allow, under LB 357, Nebraska cities to raise their local sales tax rates. In the first phase of this project, NTF is urging taxpayers to vigorously lobby their city council members to vote NO on an enabling ordinance. 70% of a city council must approve such measure, 5 votes in a city council of 7. In municipalities in which city councils do pass enabling ordinances, NTF will work with taxpayers to defeat the ordinance when voted upon at the polls. Please join your fellow taxpayers on Wed. May 9, 6:15 PM at Millard Library, 132nd & Westwood Ln, Omaha, to begin the campaign to "Axe the Tax." Special pep talk by Omaha City Council Member Jean Stothert, followed by a short Power Point presentation, then petitions and issue papers to take home, so that you can lobby your city council members.
